In review: In 2000 Chris Weinke was a better player than LaDainian Tomlinson

No one at TCU actually thought L.T. was going to win, primarily because he was playing in an obscure conference against garbage competition.

Great article. Interesting. Thats actually a pretty good Heisman class. 3 or 4 of those guys turned out to be studs in the NFL. I have to be honest. I would have never have guessed LT would go on to do some of the amazing things he did as a Pro. He was a special back in college, and amazing in the NFL. Hats off to LT.
